Birdie Flannel Baby Quilt

By chloe • Nursery, Sewing • 19 Sep 2012

My first attempt at quilting. Really simple whole cloth with flannel front/back and cotton batting. I was inspired by the wide borders on Pottery Barn Kid’s ABC baby quilt, and decided to bind the quilt by simply wrapping the quilt back to the front and covering the seam with ric rac trim. I don’t have a walking foot yet and not brave enough to try free motion, so I used a random herringbone pattern for the quilting stitch.

I found quilting surprisingly satisfying and will definitely continue to explore in the future. Already ordered a few charm packs – so excited! Of course with baby coming any time now I might not be doing any sewing for a while 😛

A few other things I made also in the photos here – a pink polka dot lining for the carry cot and a fleece security blanket with fun ribbon tags.
